Cabmac cabfranc = crunchtown madness. So satisfying ❤️

Typical reduction when first opened, but I really liked it here. It was like drinking pure black olives - briny and sweet. Took a few hours, but the wine finally revealed its juicy red fruit core. Herbal, but not in any way green, especially in the context of the vintage and variety. Some intriguing tabacco notes. Light, refreshingly tart, and too easy to drink. This is good juice!

NB: Drank chilled!
